I Samuel 1 (kjv)

Now there was a certain^H259 man^H376 of Ramathaimzophim^H7436, of mount^H2022 Ephraim^H669, and his name^H8034 was Elkanah^H511, the son^H1121 of Jeroham^H3395, the son^H1121 of Elihu^H453, the son^H1121 of Tohu^H8459, the son^H1121 of Zuph^H6689, an Ephrathite^H673:²And he had two^H8147 wives^H802; the name^H8034 of the one^H259 was Hannah^H2584, and the name^H8034 of the other^H8145 Peninnah^H6444: and Peninnah^H6444 had children^H3206, but Hannah^H2584 had no children^H3206.³And this^H1931 man^H376 went up^H5927 out of his city^H5892 yearly^{H3117 H3117} to worship^H7812 and to sacrifice^H2076 unto the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 in Shiloh^H7887. And the two^H8147 sons^H1121 of Eli^H5941, Hophni^H2652 and Phinehas^H6372, the priests^H3548 of the LORD^H3068, were there.

⁴And when the time^H3117 was that Elkanah^H511 offered^H2076, he gave^H5414 to Peninnah^H6444 his wife^H802, and to all her sons^H1121 and her daughters^H1323, portions^H4490:⁵But unto Hannah^H2584 he gave^H5414 a^H259 worthy^H639 portion^H4490; for he loved^H157 Hannah^H2584: but the LORD^H3068 had shut up^H5462 her womb^H7358.⁶And her adversary^H6869 also provoked^H3707 her sore^H3708, for to make her fret^H7481, because the LORD^H3068 had shut^H5462 up^H1157 her womb^H7358.⁷And as he did^H6213 so year^H8141 by year^H8141, when^H1767 she went up^H5927 to the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, so she provoked^H3707 her; therefore she wept^H1058, and did not eat^H398.⁸Then said^H559 Elkanah^H511 her husband^H376 to her, Hannah^H2584, why weepest^H1058 thou? and why eatest^H398 thou not? and why is thy heart^H3824 grieved^H3415? am not I better^H2896 to thee than ten^H6235 sons^H1121?

⁹So Hannah^H2584 rose up^H6965 after^H310 they had eaten^H398 in Shiloh^H7887, and after^H310 they had drunk^H8354. Now Eli^H5941 the priest^H3548 sat^H3427 upon a seat^H3678 by a post^H4201 of the temple^H1964 of the LORD^H3068.¹⁰And she was in bitterness^H4751 of soul^H5315, and prayed^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068, and wept^H1058 sore^H1058.¹¹And she vowed^H5087 a vow^H5088, and said^H559, O LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, if thou wilt indeed^H7200 look^H7200 on the affliction^H6040 of thine handmaid^H519, and remember^H2142 me, and not forget^H7911 thine handmaid^H519, but wilt give^H5414 unto thine handmaid^H519 a man^H582 child^H2233, then I will give^H5414 him unto the LORD^H3068 all the days^H3117 of his life^H2416, and there shall no razor^H4177 come^H5927 upon his head^H7218.

¹²And it came to pass, as she continued^H7235 praying^H6419 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, that Eli^H5941 marked^H8104 her mouth^H6310.¹³Now Hannah^H2584, she spake^H1696 in her heart^H3820; only her lips^H8193 moved^H5128, but her voice^H6963 was not heard^H8085: therefore Eli^H5941 thought^H2803 she had been drunken^H7910.¹⁴And Eli^H5941 said^H559 unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken^H7937? put away^H5493 thy wine^H3196 from thee.¹⁵And Hannah^H2584 answered^H6030 and said^H559, No, my lord^H113, I am a woman^H802 of a sorrowful^H7186 spirit^H7307: I have drunk^H8354 neither wine^H3196 nor strong drink^H7941, but have poured out^H8210 my soul^H5315 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068.¹⁶Count^H5414 not thine handmaid^H519 for^H6440 a daughter^H1323 of Belial^H1100: for out of the abundance^H7230 of my complaint^H7879 and grief^H3708 have I spoken^H1696 hitherto.¹⁷Then Eli^H5941 answered^H6030 and said^H559, Go^H3212 in peace^H7965: and the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 grant^H5414 thee thy petition^H7596 that thou hast asked^H7592 of him.¹⁸And she said^H559, Let thine handmaid^H8198 find^H4672 grace^H2580 in thy sight^H5869. So the woman^H802 went^H3212 her way^H1870, and did eat^H398, and her countenance^H6440 was no more sad.

¹⁹And they rose up^H7925 in the morning^H1242 early^H7925, and worshipped^H7812 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, and returned^H7725, and came^H935 to their house^H1004 to Ramah^H7414: and Elkanah^H511 knew^H3045 Hannah^H2584 his wife^H802; and the LORD^H3068 remembered^H2142 her.²⁰Wherefore it came to pass, when the time^H3117 was come^H8622 about after Hannah^H2584 had conceived^H2029, that she bare^H3205 a son^H1121, and called^H7121 his name^H8034 Samuel^H8050, saying, Because I have asked^H7592 him of the LORD^H3068.²¹And the man^H376 Elkanah^H511, and all his house^H1004, went up^H5927 to offer^H2076 unto the LORD^H3068 the yearly^H3117 sacrifice^H2077, and his vow^H5088.²²But Hannah^H2584 went not up^H5927; for she said^H559 unto her husband^H376, I will not go up until the child^H5288 be weaned^H1580, and then I will bring^H935 him, that he may appear^H7200 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, and there abide^H3427 for^H5704 ever^H5769.²³And Elkanah^H511 her husband^H376 said^H559 unto her, Do^H6213 what seemeth^H5869 thee good^H2896; tarry^H3427 until thou have weaned^H1580 him; only the LORD^H3068 establish^H6965 his word^H1697. So the woman^H802 abode^H3427, and gave her son^H1121 suck^H3243 until she weaned^H1580 him.

²⁴And when she had weaned^H1580 him, she took him up^H5927 with her, with three^H7969 bullocks^H6499, and one^H259 ephah^H374 of flour^H7058, and a bottle^H5035 of wine^H3196, and brought^H935 him unto the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068 in Shiloh^H7887: and the child^H5288 was young^H5288.²⁵And they slew^H7819 a bullock^H6499, and brought^H935 the child^H5288 to Eli^H5941.²⁶And she said^H559, Oh^H994 my lord^H113, as thy soul^H5315 liveth^H2416, my lord^H113, I am the woman^H802 that stood^H5324 by thee here, praying^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068.²⁷For this child^H5288 I prayed^H6419; and the LORD^H3068 hath given^H5414 me my petition^H7596 which I asked^H7592 of him:²⁸Therefore also I have lent^H7592 him to the LORD^H3068; as long as he liveth^H3117 he shall be lent^H7592 to the LORD^H3068. And he worshipped^H7812 the LORD^H3068 there.
